Carbon Dioxide Utilisation: Faraday Discussion 183 Tapa dura - 2016

Carbon dioxide utilisation is an emerging technology which can contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by converting CO2 into commercially viable products, such as chemicals, polymers, building materials and fuels. In order for this to be effective, a synergistic approach needs to be taken, where multiple technologies and energy sources are integrated over a complete system.

Following the Carbon Dioxide Utilisation: Faraday Discussion (September 2015), this book identifies areas where efficiencies can be made to enhance the whole process economics and predicts where there may be bottlenecks in the supply chain. It present carbon dioxide utilisation as a complementary, rather than competitive, approach to carbon capture and storage, where the product produces a viable profit that can be used to off-set the carbon capture technologies required to mitigate against climate change.
